Did you know that the stars we gaze at today might actually not exist at the very moment we see them? The nearest galaxy to ours is 1.000.000 light years away. Since, according to the scientists' calculations, mankind is only about 500.000 years old, the rays of light arriving on Earth today have started from the galaxy long before human development. And many more stars that we see shining in the sky today don't really shine any longer! What's even more interesting, the greatest Romanian poet, Mihai Eminescu expressed these ideas in one of his poems as early as he 19th century. More about it here!
